Im interested in your organic nutrition. My daughter, caitlin price is getting ready to make organic baby formula to use as suppliment in emergencies but still is breastfeeding her three month old daughter. Please let me know about anything organic eating including.magazines, recipes, how to make baby formula, baby food etc.

This is a late reply, but may be useful for other parents. The best “emergency” baby food is mother’s milk self-expressed. It can be frozen and available for any unlikely situation. If for some reason this is not possible, raw goat milk is the closest to mother’s milk.

For the most part a breastfeeding mother is always with her baby and so such emergency is very unlikely. A three months old should, ideally, be exclusively breastfed and in arms. Natural societies, and, happily, many of today’s mothers breastfeed for a few years which is best of the child’s emotional, physiological and cognitive development.

I am the author of Raising Our Children, Raising Ourselves. In my teaching I address all issues from both, emotional, behavioral causes and food related. I hope this little post is helpful to someone with a baby or a toddler.

I have been told that I am gluten sensitive. Will I still be able to follow this nourishing plan? I have, in the past soaked my grains and nuts but recently stopped because my integrative health doctor recommended I avoid gluten.

Hi Joy, I am gluten intolerant as well, so I avoid: wheat, barley, spelt, oats and rye and their derivatives (often in sauces like soy sauce, vinegars). I find that quinoa, rice, millet are good substitutes for grains, and good bread can be made from rice flour, coconut or other nut flour, and tapioca starch or potato starch. You can eat all kinds of nuts as they don’t have any gluten in them – just soak them first to activate the nutrients and to remove the phytic acid. You can use genuine tamari sauce or apple cider vinegar instead of soy sauce and other vinegars. Be well!

I have Hashimotos..an autoimmune disease, and have recently been watching webinars from HEALTHTALKSONLINE.COM. THEIR NEXT ONE STARTS fEB 29TH FOR A FEW DAYS. THEY ARE FREE AND VERY INFORMATIVE. ABOUT THE MICROBIOME,9GUT GOOD AND BAD BACTERIA BALANCE ETC, GLUTEN SENSITIVITY, THE NEED TO AVOID GLUTEN, AUTOIMMUNE DISEASES THE BRAIN-GUT AXIS (CONNECTION), THYROID ETC tHE DIET IN THIS HERE WEBSITE IS SIMILAR TO THE pALEO DIET, WHICH I’M PARTIALLY PRACTISING. i HAVE ALSO BEEN WORKING PARTIALLY FROM dR kHARRAZIAN’S BOOK, “WHY DO I STILL HAVE THYROID SYMPTOMS WHEN MY LAB TESTS ARE NORMAL” AND HIS WEBSITE DRKNEWS.COM. He writes a lot about gluten and autoimmune diseases, especially Hashimotos. His diet is no grains, (Dr Perlmutter, brain specialist, also says no grains at all, as they all may act as gluten and cause harm) and Dr K says no nuts, legumes starchy foods, sugars, and pasture raised meat, wild fish (I dont eat fish anymore, especially from the radioactive Pacific Ocean) nor seaweed from the Pacific. cHECK OUT THESE mICROBIOME SUMMIT ONLINE. jUST START BY GOING TO HEALTHTALKSONLINE.COM AND SIGN UP FOR EMAIL NOTIFIATIONS AND FREE HEALTH WEBINARS ON VARIOUS HEALTH SUMMITS ONLINE.

Yes I bought and have been watching Dr. Izabella Wentz’ The Thyroid Secret ( Dr. Kharazian is interviewed be her on there). This series is helping me so much. She interviews 30some functional med docs on there and it is eye opening.! I have had Hashis for 11 yrs and thought I knew so much but have learned even more with this. Her books are great too. But then I found today How to Heal Autoimmune Diseaee in 30 Days- It is calling for a PLANT BASED quite Vegan diet to cure it. What does any one think of this compared to Paleo style? I am a bit confused. I am going to The Kellman ( Dr. Raphael Kellman) Center for 1 st time and will ask and will keep all posted.

A plant based diet is not surprisingly the cure for most of todays preventable diseases. I personally think its crazy that so many people are confused on which diet, how long they should diet, what they should eliminate, etc. A PLANT BASED DIET IS SO EASY: eat food, real food, whole food. Keep adding in fruits, vegetables, legumes, nuts, seeds, and grains all the time, variety! Our family of 4 (2 children ages 8 and 10) have committed to a vegan diet a year ago and our children have not gotten sick t all! We all feel great and feel good about how we are making the best choices for our environment. Read Comfortable Unaware and you’ll get it. Good luck!

Hi Wendy, just something to think about – I used to work in a holistic adult and pediatric dental office in CA. It was very noticeable that after a few years of being on a vegan diet that children had a lot of problems with their teeth, much more than non-vegan or even vegetarian children of similar backgrounds. The adults had problems too such as excessive cavities, weakened jaw bones and gum issues. Our health history records indicated that older vegan women sometimes developed osteoporosis at a younger age than would normally be seen in a vulnerable population (i.e. family history markers). This tended to correspond with the women being past menopause and having been vegans for more than 10 years. I know there was a study being done on all this, but I don’t know if the results are available as of yet on-line. One of the dentists I worked with thought the teeth problems were partly because people (especially young adults) on low protein diets tend to eat more sugar and sticky starches to control hunger, but it was an opinion and not a study.

I am trying to find a diet like the one above to begin with my family. I have two sons ages, 9 and 11. Both have seasonal allergies and both take inhaled steroids. One son was diagnosed with eog. Eosnophillic Gasteritits.
How much of this food and when and any suggestions on how to begin. My kids love crap…

We train our taste buds what to eat. Once they do not have the crap available & get into eating nutritiously, those taste buds can change, though I was a strong willed kid once. Make it a family affair … even choosing the veggies, going to a farm to see how they are grown & the goats & chickens, develop a wicking bed to grow food if possible, teach them to help you prepare & eat as family. Train those kids … don’t let them to go down the wrong path early on .. they will so appreciate what you did for them .. maybe later. There are youtubes of kids making smoothies & other healthy food … let them see what other kids are doing & help it become “normal” and fun.

To defeat allergies of a certain region, eat the local honey. My family moved to a place and got 2 beehives to help pollinate the fruit trees we had. My mother has really strong allergies, and claritin and others have stopped being effective, making her bedridden for weeks. We also had to keep all windows/doors closed with air filter on full blast.

But as soon as she had some of the honey from our beehives that all stopped. Until she went travelling.

Having severe anxiety and now being told I had high cholesterol I am always anxious when it comes to deciding what to eat. I have made a rule only to eat meat, eggs, cheese, milk raw of course, grass fed butter from kerrygold, nutiva coconut oil, purified water reverse osmosis, nuts, seeds, beans, oats soaked when I can, veggies and fruits. fruits maybe 1-4 servings daily. I had a cholesterol total score of 241 LDL of 128 HDL of 104 VLDL of 9 and triglycerides of only 43 I have worried alot about this but am trying not to any advice? Anyone?

High LDL isn’t necessarily a problem; you need to know your LDL particle size. Small, dense particles are more likely to oxidize and cause damage than larger, buoyant ones. Eating cholesterol and (usually) saturated fat actually results in larger particle size, which studies show may actually protect against CVD rather than cause it. Exercise and losing weight also reduce small, dense LDL. Excess carbohydrates on the other hand may increase triglycerides and lower HDL, exactly the opposite of what you want.

Some tests for LDL particle size include the LDL-S3 GGE Test from Berkeley Heart Lab which will give you your average particle size – http://bhlinc.com – and the VAP Test which will analyze 21 different lipoprotein subfractions, including dominant LDL size – http://thevaptest.com. Many doctors won’t know what you’re talking about if you mention particle size.

Justin,
I am not a medical professional, but from what I understand from numerous hours of research, your numbers seem fine. Your total cholesterol is not high (except to uninformed health professionals who think everyone’s total cholesterol should be under 200, or even 180, perish the thought!) Doctors are being told by pharmaceutical companies what our cholesterol levels should be, because they want to sell statin drugs. Read about the dangers of that right here on the Weston Price website. HDL below 40 is considered an independent risk factor for heart disease and your HDL is really good at 104. Another way Dr’s calculate your cardiovascular risk factor is to take your total cholesterol number and divide it by your HDL. For you, that would be 241 divided by 104, which is 2.3. It should be under 5 and anything under 3.5 is very good, so no worries there. Your Dr. should know that, and if he wants to make a big deal about your total cholesterol, I would look for a different Dr! Triglycerides of 43 is also very good. As Bryan Campbell commented, particle size is important, but based on your diet and your numbers I am sure you would have large buoyant ones, but if it is worrying you, have it tested.
Personally, my numbers are similar to yours: total 244, LDL 129, HDL 101, trig 68 and my particles are pattern A – the large desirable ones! My husband and I eat the same foods you do and his total cholesterol went up when we started eating the Weston Price way (we had previously been eating a low-fat diet) but his HDL went way up too, and lowered his cardiovascular disease risk. So, don’t worry, because that is not good for you!

Good points, I neglected to comment on Justin’s existing markers (which probably didn’t do much for his anxiety, my apologies). Triglycerides below 50 and HDL above 125 are outstanding numbers, and I would be shocked if his particle size was an issue as these numbers reflect somebody who’s doing everything right. Keep up the good work Justin!

I have a daughter in law that has cystic fibrosis and is in the process of getting on the transplant list. I’m trying to get her to try kefir made from raw dairy. What are your thoughts on raw dairy for cf patients. Does it cause mucus, as cf produces excess mucus in the lungs and she doesn’t need that. I’ve heard that raw milk doesn’t produce mucus.

I am so sad to find out my daughter has 9 cavities and a root canal is “needed”. I feel like such a bad parent for allowing this to happen. I cried in the dentist office after finding out this horrible news and them saying she will need to be put to sleep while worked on. Lord knows that was my worst fear to hear! I wanna change my and my families life by eating healthier and to try to avoid cavities and I’m really praying that I find the perfect cure for her cavities to avoid the surgery on her. It saddens me that my husband isn’t on board and doesn’t support this natural healing of teeth. He is still brain washed unfortunately and he doesn’t pay enough attention to hear the details and pointers I give. Lack of support really sucks, but I am hoping with the research I do and perhaps a reply from many others, will push me to go to the right path. I have no clue what most of the things on the list are, but will google as much as possible. My question is, do you know if it’s safe to give cod liver oil and butter oil to a 2yr old and where would I find organic food? There’s a whole food store about an hour from me, but they’re so expensive!

I don’t know anything about healing of cavities but surely eating the wrong things increases their likelihood and severity.

I hope you got a second opinion on your daughter’s cavities. Too many dentists are in the business of calling any anomaly they can identify a cavity. Most aren’t. My college son went to the wrong place and they recommended two root canals he did not need.

Root Canals present their own challenges and complications. I heavily suggest you research them further before you make a decision. Can you see a visible abscess on the tooth? or on an x-ray of the tooth?

Hi Marie, I have very low iron where I am always going to the ER. What helps me is cooking chicken liver is one of them beside smoothing with spinach, and kale including other fruits all together.
How to cook the chicken liver. Put in frying pan with very little water. When cooked you add in onion with some butter this help kill that smell. You could leave it like that, or you could add curry and other good seasoning you like. It’s good iron for me, and its really good……..

YEAH! I PUT CHICKEN LIVERS, PREFERABLY FROM ORGANIC OR NON-GMO-FED CHICKENS, IN AN OVEN PROOF BOWL AND ADD A LITTLE ORGANIC CHICKEN OR VEGETABLE SOUP FROM A TETRA PAK..iMAGINE OR TRADER JOES OR WHOLE FOODS BRAND, AND BAKE IT IN THE OVEN. DONT OVER COOK IT. LET IT BE SLIGHTLY PINK AND DONT DRAIN THE BLOOD BEFORE COOKING. yOU CAN ADD ONION GRANULES AND PARSLEY OR CHIVES BEFORE BAKING…IN A TOASTER OVEN OR BIG OVEN, NOT A MICROWAVE OVEN. ABOUT 250- 300 DEGREES AFTER COOKING, I ADD A.VOGEL’S HERBAMARE (SEA SALT WITH HERBS) AND IT TASTES GOOD WITH AVOCADO MAYONNAISE FROM PALEO FRIENDLY MAYO FROM THRIVEMARKET.COM…CHEAP HEALTHY MAIL ORDER PLACE. tELL THEM i SENT YOU PLEASE. THEY SELL LOTS OF ORGANIC AND PALEO FOODS, SOME COMPATIBLE WITH THE WESTON PRICE DIET ALSO. THEIR MAYO IS THE ONLY ONE I FOUND THAT DOESNT HAVE PRO-INFLAMMATORY OILS. iT HAS ONLY AVOCADO OILS AND OTHER INGREDIENTS. THEY ALSO SELL HERBAMARE. FREE SHIPPING OVER $49 AND 20-50% CHEAPER THAN MOST RETAIL. AND HEALTHIER CHOICES THAN MOST. THERE’S A SMALL MEMBERSHIP FEE WHICH IS WORTH IT AND NO MEMBERSHIP FOR LOW INCOME PEOPLE. cOMES RIGHT TO YOUR DOOR, SO YOU DONT HAVE TO GO SHOPPING. yOU CAN ALSO BAKE CHICKEN LIVERS WITHOUT THE PARSLEY AND/OR CHIVES AND JUST ADD THE LIQUID SOUP SO IT DOESNT COOK DRY, WHICH IS SUPPOSED TO BE CARCINOGENIC. aDD THE MAYO AND SALT (HERBAMARE) AFTER COOKING IF YOU WISH. OPTIONAL. ENJOY!

iF YOU HAVE HYPOTHYROIDISM YOU SHOULD NOT EAT THESE RAW, AS THEY ARE GOITROGENS..INTERFERE WITH THYROID HORMONE AND COULD MAKE YOU MORE HYPOTHYROID. iF THEY ARE COOKED IT DE-ACTIVATES THE GOITROGENS. SAME FOR BRUSSELS SPROUTS, BOK CHOY, CAULIFLOWER AND A FEW OTHER VEGGIES.sAME FOR SOY OR SOY PRODUCTS, UNLESS THEY ARE FERMENTED.

Hi Julie! I’m so sorry to hear about your daughter. 🙁 My son was told he would have to get surgery too. Although he still has a cavity, we have switched dentists. We were going to a pediatric dentist and honestly it was a money maker. we go to a family dentist now, and they will not do surgery on kids.

I would recommend going to a health food store in your area for cod liver oil…you can get cod liver oil with butter oil in it. It is expensive, just to warn you. my son took it great w/ applesauce. I will say, though, that it made him extremely tired, so we had to discontinue use. 🙁

i would also recommend going to farmers markets, or if you live near an amish community you can buy grass fed meats from them many times. this is what we do. Aldi also has a great assortment of organic food. I would say too to buy healthy what you can afford. Pinterest has some great tips on washing your veggies when you cant afford organic. Dont stress about it.

Also, dont try to change everything overnight—give your husband some grace and gradually change some things. for example, maybe change a snack, or 1-2 dinners. Not everything in a week. 🙂 I hope this helps you in some way.

Coconut oil is good, too and can be found at Walmart or Target.

Look for some good butter (many grocery stores carry grass-fed…it freezes well), some good meat (doesnt have to be organic) and do your best.

Thank you so much Kimberly! A friend told me of Krogers, which does have a great selection, but only one lane worth of organic food. I will definitely try Aldi 🙂
I love how Krogers produce lasts a lot longer than walmarts, not sure if it’s due to not having all the poison that walmarts produce is soaked with. I found a meat processing plant and it’s very expensive when comparing prices with walmarts meat. 1lb of grass-fed ground beef is $7.99 and walmarts is $3/lb. We are so use to eating out, fast food and dine in restaurants, so I just say if we can spend $50/day eating out, we can afford the healthier food for our daughters sake! I’ve been finding that cooking at home is actually fun and not so intimidating. Thank you again Kim <3

Hi guys, It has been a very rough couple months for me; between moving and stress from health anxiety and OCD. I decided to tell that old doctor of mine to stick his statins where the sun don’t shine. I am back to eating at least 3 1/3 to 5 tablespoons coconut oil daily (I BELIEVE THIS IS WHY MY HDL IS 104) 100% grass fed organic beef or organic chicken at least 16 or more ounces daily. I am not taking at least 1 teaspoon of Green Pastures fermented cod liver oil…. and fermented cod liver oil and butter oil when I can. I am also eating about 2 pastured eggs daily. I probably eat tons and tons of saturated fat and cholesterol but no one has told me I need to limit it to any amount. I don’t know why I freaked out so bad after being vegan and switching to a WAPF diet knowing my cholesterol would increase. I still am going though bad health anxiety and OCD; like checking my pulse and blood pressure non stop thousands of times a day. I am unhappy unless it is 65 or below for my heart rate and 100/60 or lower for my blood pressure. I thank all of you for your help and wisdom. I’m very sad to hear about Mary Enig today 🙁

Hang in there, I’ve been there. Some of that anxiety comes from what the misinformed doctors have told you. Keep your head up. Give it to God. Quit checking your pulse & BP. Trust me just quit it- I used to be that person & it doesn’t help. Good luck & since switching from a vegetarian diet you may be dealing with a copper imbalance or some other real imbalance that’s contributing to your anxiety. God bless you ❤️

My 14 year old son just had his braces off after about 6 weeks of having them on because he developed popping noises in his jaw. I’m terrified of tmjd. Are palate expanders safe for preventing tmjd? Thanks!

Justin – I had 2 little mercury silver amalgam fillings in one tooth. Replacing with composite fillings reduced my thoughts running at night even though very tired. Composite doesn’t last as long though. It felt like my head was going to pieces before versus more relaxed and calmer afterwards.

Mercury is extremely toxic with so many health and mental problems that people are not being told. You can do a search on why dentists do not tell their clients this.

Cure tooth Decay – Ramiel Nagel goes into more detail or a goggle search on health improvements through amalgam removals will be faster start.

Electrodiagnostic machines for testing should be used to remove the worst meridian blocking filling first with rubber dams, Air suction etc to prevent mercury filings from being reabsorbed.

Muscle testing Electrodiagnostic machines should be used to check for the more biocompatible replacement considered with expected life of the replacement. I have had composite molars last 3 to 4 years and went to porcelain caps with steel underlay that is a compromise.

Some people go to Mexico Or SA to reduce costs.

For mothers facing fillings for their children, please educate yourself on amalgam fillings and the ingredients of vaccinations.

I agree w/ALMOST everything in Dr. Price’s diet, except for the following two things:

1. He doesn’t seem to emphasize the importance of ORGANIC [“natural” (which also means “whole” btw) is NOT the same as “organic”].

2. He should ADD that, if one ISN’T able to eat correctly ALL his/her life, to the point of congesting one’s lymphatic system and liver…then at THAT POINT, eating FATS OF ANY KIND is VERY BAD. (You MUST clean out your lymph system and liver FIRST, BEFORE you continue to eat ANY TYPE OF FAT!)

I don’t necessarily disagree with what you are saying but I think point #1 needs a little clarification. The term organic as it is usually used when referring to food today did not exist when Dr. Price was alive. Also, a lot of local food today may be as good or better than organic but not labeled organic because the producer can’t afford the expense.

Desperate Mom: Both of my children have high BMI’s. I am tearfully and desperately trying to find a solution for me and my boys. I have tried many things but it is getting worse. Dairy/no dairy bread/no bread sugar from fruit/no sugar from fruit wheat bread oats/no wheat bread oats low fat/high fat….the list goes on. I am confused and overwhelmed on what exactly I can feed myself and my children. I am a meal planner,I make meal menus so any meals that I don’t have to grow, raise, or harvest in my own yard would be helpful. Encouragement would be wonderful. Blessings

First off, thank you for your work and website. A mine of information indeed.
As to my question, this might sound silly but: HOW MUCH should one eat? How does one determine the amount of food we must consume?

I understand basic recommendations such as about 1grm of protein per lean kg of bodyweight, but as to the amounts of fats, “some” carbohydrates.. I would be grateful for an explanation.

(I am assuming you do not count calories. I don’t, as I find it rather useless, given our biological nature – unless one is eating refined sugars, that only provide energy and near naught else)

I noticed that it is stated in #16 “Cook only in stainless steel, cast iron, glass or good quality enamel.” I have read that you should only use stainless that is magnetic because it won’t have nickel in it which can leach into foods. Also, has the WAP Foundation looked into traditional clay cookware? I have one clay pot made from bentonite clay and it cooks amazingly well. I was wondering if the foundation has looked into the safety of these items. Here is the website I purchased from.http://miriamsearthencookware.com/
Thank you!

I noticed after cooking this way i.e. homemade bone broths, drying my own nuts and seeds and spices, that my electricity and grocery costs increased significantly…something to keep im mind when considering this dietary approach. One wonders whether it may be more economical and conveneint to use store bought organic gelatin & supplements.

“5. Use animal fats, such as lard, tallow, egg yolks, cream and butter liberally.”
What kind of cream, exactly? There’s so many kinds—half, single, whipped, whipping, double, clotted… then there’s sterilized and not sterilized, which I’m guessing is the same as pasteurization?

I’m at a stand still….. Please Please Help!!! My 9 year old son is the last of eight children (over 20 years time) that my body clearly did not supply his with the proper nutrients necessary for his teeth. By the time he was 6 months old and crawling with four front teeth, we noticed there was no enamel on his teeth. By the time he was 9-months old and crawling and slipping to hit his mouth on the floor, his teeth were chipped and literally rotting out of his mouth. I studied Dr. Weston A Price, read his book, and many other pro-WAPrice I could get my hands on. We have been eating clean and just as listed on the above list for the past 6 years. Grass fed beef, buffalo, chicken, eggs. Raw, unpasteurized milk these the last 2 months, (which my 9yo rarely drank milk before as it was), but raw butter for the past three years. I make quality veggie shakes, use organic veggies and fruits, little to no grains. After another trip for cleaning at the dentist, he still has a mouthful of cavities (4 permanent molars, plus 5 baby teeth). I have spent tons of money purchasing the fermented cod liver oil/butter oil from Green Pastures for my four children at home who all have cavities. However, I realized that there is no recommended quantity to take of the capsules to reverse dental cavities. So, I had my younger children taking two capsules of these, plus use perfect oils as taught by Dr. Price. I’ve recently begun having them drink 1/4 tsp pink/himalayan/hawaiian salt in water to up their mineral absorption. I understand we are what we are assimilate, and am curious what I’m missing to heal his cavities! I’m desperate. My family support system is waning wildly as each dental cleaning reveals more and more cavities. Please HELP!!!

Please add this to the above….. We use stevia, honey, or grade B maple syrup in sparse amounts. I brush his teeth myself this last year, and use floss. I do not understand that I’m doing all the things listed on Dr. Price’s health regime and he still winds up with cavities that are not healed. There are way too many positive testimonies of children and adults with major tooth decay that have been reversed. I want to be among them. What else can I do for his diet? Thank you.

I’m looking for a natural dentist to take my family to that actually believes and practices these things. Our dentist only knows to drill and fill and I’m not satisfied with that, yet I do not want my sons teeth to continue deteriorating til they fall out.

Please dont get me wrong I am just wondering are you all living in America and if so how is it you have access to all these organics and farm grazed animal products and wild caught fishes and so on. I mean what kind of budget would a family of 5 has to cater to their family nutritional needs. This is sad to say but unless you live on an island in the Carribean are a farmer in America or filthy rich I cant see how you will be able to keep with such dietary demands. Good luck to all the fortunate rich people of the world or the lucky ones who can eat that way.
